HIGHLIGHTS
The Asphalt Mixture Performance Tester can be used as part of your Superpave performance based testing program.
This original Asphalt Mixture Performance Tester (AMPT) is the culmination of two National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) projects. IPC Global has been involved in IPC Global equipment, and has been successfully evaluated by NCHRP.
Standard outfit
AMPT Pro includes, as standard, the following testing Modules (compression platens) which, however, have been completed with the transducer kit accessory.
Dynamic Modulus E to AASHTO T378/TP79 and NCHRP 9-29
A performance.related property, for asphalt mixture evaluation and charachterising the stiffness of HMA. It is an important input parameter for AASHTO “Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide”.
- Creates master curves for structural design
- Assess modified binders and local materials
- Forensisc analysis of pavement failure
Flow number to AASHTO T378 and NCHRC 9-29
Flow number is related to the resistance of HMA to permanent deformation.
- Repeated load creep tests
- Evatluate rutting
- Accurate simulation of actual loading
Flow time to NCHRP 9-29
Flow time is a quick and simple measurement of the resistance of HMA to permanent deformation.
